I suppose that's why I stress so much about sharing in meetings.
I do not see this as "not good about 12"

"I know who are working on their sobriety, but do not want to do AA. But they talk to me. So I talk AA to them, and they don't really know it's AA, lol."

Sounds like great 12th step work to me. You are able to help some folks who a "hardcore AAer" can't reach because they won't help folks who are not doing the traditional full blown AA program as they think it should be done.
